Larry Rendall Brock Jr., Capitol Rioter Seen With Zip Ties, Freed by Judge
Source: Newsweek
...
The father of three from Dallas has been charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority. Brock has also been charged with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
He appeared in a Texas court in a green jumpsuit on Thursday, with cuffs around his hands and feet.
"He means to take hostages. He means to kidnap, restrain, perhaps try, perhaps execute members of the U.S. government," Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Weimer said of Brock. The prosecutor did not provide further clarification on his comments.

Too bad he wasn't a black teenager stealing a pack of cigarettes; he'd have been held without bond and then jailed for 40 years.
